Local people and cheese fans are being urged to vote for Feltham’s Farm in Horsington, Somerset in the 2017 Great British Cheese Awards in two categories Best Artisan Cheese and Best Soft Cheese for its Renegade Monk cheese. The Great British Cheese Awards recognise, promote and reward excellence in the artisan cheese industry and celebrate the best of British cheese produced and distributed by independent cheese makers and retailers. Renegade Monk is a soft blue cheese, rind washed in ale from Frome’s Milk Street Brewery, and made using organic pasteurised cow’s milk from Bruton Dairy. It is one of twelve shortlisted cheeses in each category out of 500 nominated cheeses by the public nationwide. The Great British Cheese Awards stand apart from similar events as no other cheese awards give the general public such a large voice in influencing and rewarding outstanding British cheese. The Great British Cheese Awards don’t rely on tastings by a panel of judges at country shows, instead these awards bring together hundreds of thousands of people online, who, along with industry experts, food writers and celebrities give the artisan cheese industry unparalleled prominence. Members of the public can vote online for Feltham’s Farm’s Renegade Monk until 12th August at www.greatbritishcheeseawards.com. Marcus Fergusson, Cheesemaker at Feltham’s Farm says “We could only have managed this with the wonderful partners who have supported us from the start – including Steve and Jules at the Roth Bar & Grill, Steve at the Pear Tree in Sherborne, Naomi and Ruth at Kimbers, Phil at Bill the Butchers in Bruton, Simon at Palmer Street Bottle in Frome, Tom at The Village Shop Charlton Horthorne, and Charlie at The Somerset Wine Shop in Castle Cary. The Great British Cheese Awards are exciting for us because they are voted for solely by the public . If we win the cheese will get national recognition and we can expand our business”. Last year, over 7,500 people voted for their favourite cheeses, producers and retailers and there are plans to make the 2017 awards even greater. The overall winners will be announced at a prestigious awards ceremony set to be held in London on 11th October 2017.

The Great British Cheese Awards have been launched with the specific aim to recognise, promote and reward excellence in the artisan cheese industry and are organised by Great British Chefs (the UK’s fastest growing food website) and Peter’s Yard, whose crispbread was recently named as “the best biscuit for cheese out there”. How do the Great British Cheese Awards differ from other similar awards? The awards will not reply on tastings alone; they will bring together hundreds of thousands of online food lovers with industry experts, food writers and celebrity cheese fans to give the artisan cheese industry unparalleled prominence. Ultimately, the people who eat cheese and buy cheese will be the ones who decide who deserves to win a prestigious award. People vote online for their favourites which are then shortlisted and judged by a panel of illustrious judges that include industry experts, food writers and celebrities. … Continue Reading
